Advanced Level: Cleaner Wrasse
This is often a saltwater fish that beginner aquarists end up with, as they are fantastic for clearing up ich outbreaks. The problem later presents itself when the Cleaner Wrasse no longer has parasites to feast upon. With no food and limited space, this normally passive fish becomes a bully, and will harass other tankmates with the hope that they carry parasites to feed on.
However, these fish have been successfully housed by advanced hobbyists. The trick is feeding them in small quantities, as they do not have the ability to take in large amounts of food at once. Mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, spirulina, nori, and tiny marine pellets are suggested as food options.
